An inflation gauge that is closely monitored by the Federal Reserve showed price increases remained elevated in September amid brisk consumer spending and strong economic growth.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is being sued by the billionaire Haslam family, which accused the conglomerate of using improper accounting to devalue its remaining 20% stake in Pilot Travel Centers, the largest U.S. truck stop operator.

According to a complaint made public on Thursday in Delaware Chancery Court, Berkshire has unilaterally and without consent adopted "pushdown" accounting rules that artificially reduce Pilot's earnings before interest and taxes, and "grossly" reduce how much the Haslams would receive if they sold their remaining stake.  ( 33 min )

A surprise first place for Argentina's ruling Peronists in a general election on Sunday could calm market fears about a runaway win for libertarian radical Javier Milei who has pledged to dollarize the economy and shut the central bank. Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa won around 36.5% of the vote ahead of right-wing outsider Milei with just over 30%, far outperforming pre-election polls and setting up a polarized run-off vote on Nov. 19 between the two. Analysts said the result should alleviate fears about a sudden devaluation of the local peso currency and reduce the likelihood of the country ditching the peso any time soon, with the eventual winner likely to have a weak mandate.  ( 33 min )
